(no subject)

I need happy, fluffy, upbeat fic recs. The sort of fics that just put you in a good mood.

Fandoms:

Harry Potter (obviously)
Due South
Highlander

Humor fics, fluffy romance fics, silly fics, whatever. Just fics that'll brighten up the day.

Thank you!

Thought....

Brought on by simmysim's post about muggles.

A muggle is a non-magical person. Not a drop of magic in them, perfectly mundane.

A pureblood with or wizard is a witch or wizard.

A halblood witch or wizard is still a witch or wizard.

A witch or wizard born of two muggles is still a witch or wizard.

But a child of two wizards with no magic is a squib.

It's worse to be a squib than a muggleborn. They're set apart immediately. Sure, there's the term 'mudblood', but that's a really derogatory word. Squibs are just squibs. They're set apart moreso than anyone else in the Wizarding World. And they're obviously looked down upon, as demonstrated by Filch's shame and the reaction to Mrs Figg at the trial.

It makes me wonder what the Death Eaters and Voldemort think of squibs. It hasn't been addressed in the book at all. Personally, I think they considered them just marginally better than muggle borns. They at least had the proper parents. Not that they have any place in Voldemort's new world order or anything, just that they aren't a priority. Not to mention they aren't a threat, since they can't use magic.

(And no, this is not a sudden revelation or anything, just something I was thinking about.)
